Treatment

Posted by newjersey2 @newjersey2, 4 days ago

I am considering radiation treatment options. My doc recommended 23 ext radiation treatments over 4.5 wks and then a high dose brachytherapy. I was hoping for fewer treatments in 2 wks period. Is my expectation unreasonable. I am 67 yo, otherwise healthy, no metastasis and my gleason score was 7 (biopsy showed mixed bag of 60 and 7). Any thoughts for those who had radiation treatment?
Thank you, and wish you all the best!
